SATURDAY CHIP---TOLERANCE/INTOLERANCE
I've had to work on this for a good long time.....
Being intolerant had always been a natural act to me.
I had my set of standards and anyone who didn't
live up to them, were cut out of my life. Things were
either right or wrong, black or white, good or bad!
The older I get and the more aware of this defect,
I come to realize that many times it's not such a well
defined area. There are shades and degrees of
disapproval and often times I have to stop and wonder,
why is this my business.
Most people (myself included) have a good side and
a bad side. For the most part, the good out weighs
the bad. Luckily for me, God did not leave me in
charge of judging the human race. No one is perfect,
I'm guessing we all just do the best we can.
So today I am working at being more tolerant of
other people and ideas. There really are shades
of gray......
Have a wonderful Christmas, SunnyGirl
